The Lazy Seagull is exactly how it is listed, quiet beachy retreat. The house is immaculate and fully stocked. We were in DE for a baseball tournament at Sports at the Beach. 3 adults and 4 teenagers from L.I. NY. First let me say, the house is immaculate and beautifully decorated. I love the beach theme and it's apparent throughout the house. The owners have thought of everything to make it so easy and convenient. The master bedroom with the King bed and en-suite was a very large room, very cozy. The Queen room was right across from the bathroom and the loft is adorable with 3 twin beds. Every room has a TV and cable and tons of pillows. A lot of DVD's, games, books plenty to keep busy on a rainy day. The living space had plenty of furniture and a pull out sleeper. Everything was clean and smelled nice. The bathrooms are big and had tons of towels and even new bars of soap.
The kitchen was very well stocked and brand new, with a full refrigerator, stove, pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, glasses, dish soap, sponges.. Everything you need. There was even coffee and filters. The closet with the washer/dryer is in a convenient spot too.
The beach is a 8 minute or so walk. Quaint little beach, clean and quiet. Perfect for morning walks. We didn't get to spend any time at the beach, unfortunately, because of baseball but did walk there in the early mornings. The town is tiny, not much going on. There is a Warf restaurant, ice cream place and a bar. We didn't have time to try any of them but the restaurant did look cute.
If you are looking for a quiet retreat, this is definitely the place. It's pitch black after 9 p.m. and there are no signs of life. Coming from NY, it's quite the contrast to what we are used to. We did enjoy a beautiful sunrise on Sunday morning.
The neighbors we did see were all super friendly, waving hello as the drove by.
The baseball fields are very far from the house which made it difficult to go back and forth in between games. The kids also wanted to be where the action was at Rehobeth beach and that's even further. However, it was really nice to come back to a house instead of being cramped in a hotel room. We are a family of 5 and when we travel, it's always difficult to find the right accommodations. This was perfect.
One suggestion would be to add extra blankets. The beds all had adorable bed spreads but they were very thin.
We would definitely stay again in the future! Thank you!
